A native of Philadelphia, Thomas began his artistic endeavors at age 15 as a dancer. He was awarded numerous scholarships to the Pennsylvania Ballet, the Darvash School and the prestigious Julliard School in New York, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. While enrolled at Julliard, Thomas gained hands-on experience in set design and wardrobe. Upon graduating from Julliard, he embarked on a successful dance career traveling the world admiring architecture, antiquities, and furnishings though-out his travels. These inimitable experiences ultimately established the groundwork for a natural segue into Interior Design. In 2007, Thomas enrolled in the Santa Monica College of Art, Entertainment, and Technology for Interior Architectural Design and quickly flourished. Shortly after graduating Thomas founded Thomas Halstead Designs / Halstead Interior Designs
